Abstract

The main objective of this document is to present the End-of-Waste (EoW) criteria for the bauxite red mud. EoW criteria are based on the different EoW approaches and criteria existing around the European Union (EU), especially for Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) and the results obtained in the CINDERELA project (EU contr. No. 776751).

This EoW criteria protocol could facilitate the recycling process of bauxite red mud thus guiding Republic of Montenegro to implement EoW criteria for this waste, which is landfilled in huge quantity (8 million tonnes) near Podgorica. This document will define the product status, its technical quality and applicability as well as its environmental and human health issues.
